Tiruppur, located in Tiruppur district of Tamil Nadu, is one of India's principal centres for knitwear and cotton garment exports.

As Mayor, Visalakshi presided over meetings of the Tiruppur Municipal Corporation council and represented the corporation in its dealings with the Government of Tamil Nadu and other public agencies. The Mayor in Tamil Nadu's corporations works alongside the Municipal Commissioner, who is the executive head appointed by the state government.
The mayoralty of Tiruppur is a politically notable office given the city's economic importance to the Tamil Nadu and Indian export economy. Holders of the post are responsible for guiding civic policy in a rapidly urbanising industrial centre.
